Re: Marvin Hicks passed
The name sounds familiar, but I don't believe I've ever heard a message preached by him. I'll look on youtube sometime and see if there is anything there.

Re: Marvin Hicks passed
I started in the UPC in 1983. I remember hearing of him at that time, but he was no longer UPC. I remember listening to a few of his sermons from the 1970's and also one or two of his debates with Church of Christ preachers. He was a very good preacher and also a skilled debater. He had a fantastic memory and could quote scripture backwards and forwards.

Re: Marvin Hicks passed
I purchased several debates of his early on, and listened to many of his sermons.
I moved on - and no longer felt those types of debates were profitable...
Nevertheless Marvin Hicks was a widely admired conference speaker and highly respected in the UPC at one time. Sorry to hear of his passing.

Re: Marvin Hicks passed
Strange concoction of officiating ministers. I was not aware that Anthony Mangun knew Marvin Hicks at all. I suppose the "official" UPC response will be null and void, which is a shame. Marvin Hicks did as much to further the UPC--as much as it could be furthered--as any of the "greats" of the second generation who are now passing from the scene.
The one line there--he preached over 70 UPC district campmeetings, tells all there is to tell. He was the UPC's "go-to" guy for a long time, and the UPC's "go to" preachers now are like midgets compared to the giant that Marvin A. Hicks was as a preacher.

Re: Marvin Hicks passed
I had similar thoughts Timlan. Great to see your post. I line up with Hoovie as far as questioning just how effective the debate tactic really was. Marvin was out of the church I grew up in. Sam would probably be able to connect the dots better than I. One thing's for sure, he was one of the greatest preachers that movement has ever seen.

What mixture of preachers at his funeral. The Cavaness and the Hicks family goes all the way back to his Dad pastoring in Detriot and his Mom was from the Bloomington area.
He was a tremendous preacher and entertaining debater. Drew probably the largest crowds in his debates than anyone doing them. And he was really a very nice guy being around him in person. Hope all is well with you I think of you often.

Re: Marvin Hicks passed
As a teenager I sat in the audience of a Marvin Hicks debate with a trinitarian preacher. It was in the mid 70's and I think in Jena Lousiana. Maybe the HIcks Reynolds debate. As a teenage UPCer Marvin Hicks was one of my favorite campmeeting preachers for two reasons. First he used a lot bigger words than 98% of UPC preachers at the time and secondly he clearly had a LOT of annointing when you based the amount of annointing on the volume level of the speaker!
On a serious note, he really was an icon of 1970's UPC. Probably much of the 60's as well but I was too young to know. I never heard a bad word about this man. He had a reputation as passionate conveyor of what he believed in but was personally a very friendly and approachable man.

Here is Marvin Hicks website. He had a webcast (about 30 minutes long) produced when he was pastor of the church he pastored from around 2008 until 2013. Which means he was pastoring until he was around 84 years old!
